Supporting Future Occupational Therapy Practitioners
Proceeds from this event benefit the Harlan and Rita Temple Endowed Scholarship, administered through the American Occupational Therapy Foundation (AOTF).
The scholarship is awarded to students in good standing who are enrolled in accredited occupational therapy or occupational therapy assistant programs. Preference is given to students who are residents of South Dakota and members of the South Dakota Occupational Therapy Association.
By participating in this event, you are helping invest in the next generation of occupational therapy practitioners and supporting the future of our profession.
Move your way. Make a difference. Join us this September!
